Mack's POV

I woke up early from the loud sound of my alarm and jumped out of bed. After nearly 10 months of school, it's finally the last day! Woohoo! I sprung out of my room and dashed into the bathroom being careful not to trip over anything that littered my dirty floor leaving almost no sight of my white carpet or the light wood.

I took a quick shower and blew dry my long blonde hair before brushing it out. I felt a little lazy so I decided on leaving it down in its natural waves. Then I rushed to my room and picked out an outfit which was a kind of maroon colored tank top with white arrows on the front, a black bandeau under it, black jean shorts with some studs on it, and grayish navy blue converse. I put on a bunch of necklaces and a black bow headband in my hair. I slipped on a lokai bracelet that all of my friends have and applied some makeup which is just eyeliner, mascara, and lipgloss. After I finished, I grabbed my backpack and ran down the stairs.

My mom had already left to work and my dad was on a business trip that he would be back from in just a few days, so I was home alone. It was only 6:30 so I decided to actually make a breakfast. I don't usually eat breakfast in the morning since I don't have time but today I did. I decided to make a fruit smoothie and cut up some strawberries and bananas and threw them in a blender for a few seconds before pouring it out in a plastic cup so that I could drink it while I walked to school. By now it was 7:00. I grabbed all of my binders and stuffed them into my backpack quickly before I heard a knock on my door. I ran and opened it to see my best friend, Mikey.

He was in a white t-shirt with a black design on the front, khaki shorts, and black vlados. He actually looked cute with his hair spiked up. No. He's just your best friend. If you haven't noticed I have a small crush on Mikey.

"Hey Mikey!" I cheered.

"Sup." he laughed. "C'mon let's go. We have to go get everyone else." I followed him out the door with my backpack slung over my shoulder and my smoothie in my hand.

"Who are we gonna go pick up?" I asked before drinking from my plastic cup. It always depended on the day and if their parents were going to drive them to school that day or not.

"Just Madison and Nick. Vinny's sick and isn't going to school today. Thomas is going on vacation to visit his grandparents for a week or two. Jason and Louis are carpooling." he answered. I nodded as we kept walking. Nick's house came into view and we saw him sitting on the front steps. He was wearing on a plain red shirt, black shorts, and red vlados.

"Hi Nick!" I yelled taking his attention away from his phone. He smiled at us and stood up, brushing off the dirt from his pants.

"Now, to Madison's!" I shouted and pointed my hand towards Madison's house. By the time that we got to Madison's house I already finished my smoothie and Madison wasn't outside. I walked up the steps and rang the doorbell. A few seconds later his mom answered the door.

"Morning Mrs. Alamia. Is Madison ready?" I asked.

"Morning to you too and he's coming. Just getting some of his things together." She smiled. "Do you want me to throw that cup out for you?"

"Oh thank you." I said and gave her the plastic cup. She went to throw it out and when she went through the kitchen door, Madison came down the stairs. He was in a plain blue shirt, white shorts, and gray vlados.

"You take soooo long. I've been here for like an eternity." I exaggerated.

"Hahaha so funny. It takes time to get my hair like this." He defended. I rolled my eyes.

"Let's go." I said with a smile. "Bye Mrs. Alamia!"

"Bye mom!" Madison shouted.

"Bye. Have fun at school you guys." We heard her yell back. Madison pulled the door closed and both of us walked down the front steps and we all started walking to school together.

"What's up with you guys and vlados?" I asked. Seriously. They were obsessed with them.

"We love them. They're like our best friends." Nick said making everyone else laugh including me.

"Yeah. We just can't live without them." Mikey added.

"All of you guys have like 10 pairs each." I said.

"I actually have 9." Mikey corrected.

"I have 8." Madison said.

"I only have 5 so I'm not that obsessed like these people." Nick said.

"And I don't have any." I laughed.

They ended up having a conversation about vlados the rest of the way to school and what color they were gonna get next. Stuff like that.

By the time we got to school, Jason and Louis were already there and we still had twenty minutes before classes started. I walked down the hallway to my locker so I could get everything that I needed for the day like binders and books. I was going through my locker an putting everything in my backpack when I felt a sharp pain on my hand and I turned to see someone slammed the locker door on my hand.

"OUCH! WHAT THE HECK!" I yelled ignoring all of the pain in my hand that turned into numbness after a few seconds. I turned to see the school's most popular group of girls. Standing in front of all of them was the "leader" Chrissy. Behind her was Abigail, Rachel, Katie, Denise, and Vanessa. All of them were mean except for Vanessa. We weren't exactly friends, more like acquaintances. She was nice and didn't dress or act like all of the other girls in short skirts, dresses, or shorts and crop tops that were too high. An the worst, heels. I shuddered at the thought of heels.

She smiled at me and I gave a small smile back before sending a glare at everyone else.

"Well if it isn't the school's attention seeker - Mackenzie Summers." Chrissy scoffed.

"Well if it isn't the school and world's most fake person ever, Chrissy Parks." I shot back. She just rolled her eyes.

"Still a little stubborn brat. You haven't changed at all have you Mack." She smirked evilly.

I glared daggers at her. "Don't call me that. You don't have any right to. And I'm not the one who got plastic surgery all over their face and cakes on 5 inches of makeup."

She didn't even seem affected by my comment. Probably since she knew it was true. "Whatever." She snapped her gum. I rolled my eyes. She's been getting on my nerves way too much lately.

I could feel my friends come up behind me: Victoria and Jill. Then I could hear a bunch of boys' yells too before they stopped right behind me. Everyone was surrounding us now.

"Still cutting?" Chrissy asked smiling all innocently. I felt my heart rate pick up and tears brimming the edge of my eyes. I hadn't cut in months since the incident had happened and my scars were going away. "I told you that you were an attention seeker." She laughed. My tears finally spilled over and cascaded down my face.

"Just leave her alone." I heard Victoria say. Chrissy scoffed and I heard her walk off with her heels clicking against the ground. I felt someone tap my shoulder and I looked up to see Vanessa.

"It's okay." She smiled. "She just says those things to make herself feel superior to others. Don't take any of it to heart." She said. I gave a small smile back and mumbled a thank you to her. She smiled warmingly again at me before walking down the hallway to her homeroom probably.

I felt someone take me into their embrace and breathed in their scent. Mikey. I was short so the top of my head just reached past his shoulders. I buried my face into his chest and wrapped my arms around his waist while his went over my shoulders, and I could feel the tears beginning to make their way down my face. I could hear everyone else leave but not before telling me to not listen to what Chrissy said.

"Why does she hate me so much?" I mumbled into Mikey's shirt that my tears had dampened.

"She's just jealous of you cause you have awesome friends." He laughed. I smiled a little. He always tried to make me laugh.

"Thank you for being my best friend." I whispered. He tightened his grip around me a little before answering.

"No problem. Thanks for being mine too." I smiled. Best friends. Forever. But was that all I wanted to be?
